Skims Ribbed Long Slipdress
When it comes to comfort, this lounge slip dress by Skims takes the cake. With over 800 reviews and 4.7 out of 5 stars, Nordstrom customers agree that this piece is pretty exceptional. One reviewer gushed, "I receive so many compliments on this dress. It is so comfy and such an easy throw-on with a sandals summer outfit. It is extremely functional too! I slide it up and am able to ride my beach cruiser in it...The best part is it is actually long enough!"
Bonus: A group of R29ers put this infamous dress to the test, and let's just say it got rave reviews.

ASOS Curve Cotton Beach Shorts & Button-up Blouse Set
I love a set because it's an unfussy way to look put together with minimal effort. This cotton one is perfect for sweltering days because it's constructed with breathable natural materials, and it's a bit oversized for the perfect amount of added airflow. It's definitely worth packing for any beachside vacays you have planned, and it pairs well with almost any sandal because of its simple design and natural coloring.

Kut From The Kloth Rachael Fab Ab High-Waist Raw Hem Mom Jean
The right pair of plus-size denim can really be instrumental in creating an endless amount of outfit combinations. I love this pair for summer because of a lighter wash, subtle cropped look, and slightly roomier silhouette for airflow. One reviewer agreed that "[they] love the looser style but were afraid these would look frumpy...The good news is that they look flattering!"

It's crafted from non-stretch cotton denim, which is great for maintaining shape over time as compared to denim with a lot of stretches.

Artesands Ben Chagall Bikini Top & Ben Botticelli Bikini Bottoms
Not only is this tiger-striped bikini uber-cute, but it's designed with great attention to detail as well. The bikini top features adjustable straps and is wire-free for added support that's also comfortable. The bottoms have a compressive effect, and the ruching on the sides adds texture and dimension to the swimsuit look.

AFRM Dita Zebra Print Ruched Side Maxi Skirt
Summer is the perfect time to rock a maxi skirt. They can serve as great cover-ups, pair well with crop tops, and are way more comfortable than wearing pants. I love the vibrant pattern on this AFRM skirt and the endless styling capabilities that are possible. For a more casual look, pair with an oversize graphic tee and your favorite pair of sneakers. To dress up the skirt, throw on some strappy heels and a sexier even lacy cropped blouse.

BP. Gender Inclusive Oversize Woven Button-up
When I get a chance to throw on a sheer piece of clothing, I take it. I love that you can wear it in so many different ways. Throw on a cute bralette with this top or use it as a "summer jacket" on top of your favorite dress. If your arms are on the larger end like my own, oversize button-up shirts also tend to have a little more room in the armholes than a regular fit.
